I could be wrong Gail. I've never done one myself. I am thinking it would all depends on the rules decided by the participants.

Yes, I've been informed by PM that it's according to the guidelines of the particular Round Robin.

I started quilting in 1999 when I met a group of 11 other women who all either were quilters or wanted to learn. Six of us decided to do a round robin-we each made a 12" square that represented our quilt theme and passed it, along with our journal and some fabric we might want used in other blocks to the next person. Since it was our first ever round robin, we decided to each make a 12" square to go along with the theme. We did not see our quilts again until the unveiling 6 months later--the anticipation was so much fun!! My theme was Christmas and my wall hanging is adorable!

In the summer of 2000, we all moved away and eight of us decided to stay in touch by doing round robins through the mail. We all agreed on the rules, mailing dates, etc and began an annual tradition of working on round robins from September through April and then having a reunion in April or May to see each other and get our round robin back. Each year the rules for the next round robin change some (like to keep things from getting boring). I have 5 great quilts from doing round robins with this group. It is a wonderfully talented group of ladies. They are still making round robins and getting together annually. (I quit the group in 2005--long story :cry: ) They live in WA. VA, PA, KS, and SC.

Doing a round robin with others can be a great experience. You just need to establish rules and make sure that everyone is committed to it.
